Information about Obama’s hidden past is finally coming out due to the diligent research of www.citizens4freedom.com, Donald Trump’s investigation into Obama (And it’s NOT about the birth certificate issue.) and Attorney Orly Taitz persistence.

The video above, recorded from The Power Hour radio show by Joyce Riley, exposes the FACTS they have uncovered about Obama’s past that may be surprising, even shocking, to some. Manipulation of political figures by the ruling elite is nothing new. In fact it’s the documented history of how the British Empire (the mercantile elite class of Britain) was able to control the world (and still do).

Knowing information like this and keeping it suppressed while financing them to high political office is how the controlling elite of the world are able to completely control the puppet politicians in America and deceive all but the most astute studiers of history.

Is President Obama’s birth certificate a forgery? Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., believes it is. He recently held a press conference in Phoenix to discuss the findings of a new 10-page report. Mr. Arpaio’s investigators have come to a stunning conclusion: The long-form birth certificate Mr. Obama released last year is a “computer-generated forgery.”

With the exception of The Washington Times, however, no major U.S. media outlet reported this bombshell story. The liberal press corps is desperately trying to suppress any discussion of Forgerygate — potentially one of the biggest scandals in American history. The media class is betraying its fundamental mission to pursue the truth.

“Based on all of the evidence presented and investigated, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic,” Sheriff Arpaio said. “My investigators believe that the long-form birth certificate was manufactured electronically and that it did not originate in paper format as claimed by the White House.”

The Washington Times story, written by Stephen Dinan, points out that Mr. Arpaio has called for Congress to investigate the matter. Think about this: A high-profile sheriff orders a team of former law enforcement officials to examine whether the president is truly a natural born citizen and that he has the constitutional and legal right to occupy the White House. Their official report is that Mr. Obama’s documents are shoddy and he likely engaged in deliberate fraud. And yet, most of the American press corps doesn’t believe this is an important news story? The liberal media has become rotten to the core.

Ironically, the foreign press reported widely on the story. For example, Pravda— that’s right, the former official organ of the Soviet Communist Party — did an extensive analysis of Mr. Arpaio’s findings. The article by Dianna Cotter asks the obvious question: What are U.S. journalists afraid of?

The answer is that the issue strikes at the heart of Mr. Obama’s administration: If his presidency is illegal, then all of his accomplishments — the stimulus, Obamacare, the contraceptive mandate, the government takeover of the auto sector and appointments to the Supreme Court — are illegitimate as well. The scandal would trigger a constitutional crisis.

Following Mr. Obama’s surprise news conference last year, when he unveiled the long-form certificate, the media insisted that the controversy was settled once and for all. The "birthers" supposedly had been silenced. Mr. Arpaio’s report, however, changes that. The issue has been resuscitated — except in the eyes of the mainstream media.

A prominent sheriff says he has damning evidence that Mr. Obama probably lied to the public. The international media believes it’s a big deal; many Americans agree. They want to get to the bottom of it. Yet, the liberal hacks at the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC can do nothing more than yawn.

Contrast this with their treatment of President George W. Bush. Throughout the Bush years it was open season: routine comparisons to Adolf Hitler, charges of being a war criminal, calls for impeachment, trumped-up scandals like the Valerie Plame affair, investigations into the partying habits of his teenage daughters, stories about Mr. Bush’s drinking as a younger man, his National Guard service and mediocre college grades — journalists left no stone unturned, no questions unanswered, no topic was beyond the pale.

Not with Mr. Obama. In fact, the opposite is true: Almost everything pertinent is not to be touched. He is the least-vetted president in modern memory. During the 2008 campaign, the liberal media deliberately propped up Mr. Obama. They suppressed vital information about his radical past and deep ties to virulent revolutionary leftists — the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Derrick Bell, Saul Alinsky and Edward Said. For all of their differences, they share one value in common: hatred for traditional America.

To this day, Mr. Obama’s college transcripts, undergraduate thesis and health records remain sealed. We know little about his years in Indonesia as a young boy; his overseas trips to countries like Pakistan in the 1980s; his relationship with his mother and Muslim stepfather; and his time spent as a “community organizer” in Chicago. In short, the president’s past is clouded in mystery. This is not conspiracy-mongering, but objective fact. Americans have a right to know who their commander-in-chief really is. Instead, the media wants to bury any debate or inquiry into Mr. Obama’s background.

Whether you believe Mr. Obama’s long-form birth certificate is a forgery or not, Mr. Arpaio should be applauded. He has done our nation a huge service. He is asking the press corps to look into an issue of the highest importance: Has the president committed a monstrous hoax and fraud upon the American people? In particular, the sheriff’s team has identified a supposed “person of interest” who they believe played a pivotal role in Forgerygate. The media must follow up on the story. If it is false, then Mr. Arpaio will be rightly humiliated and publicly discredited. But if — and I stressif— it is true, then the press will have unearthed a scandal that will shake this country to its very foundations. Either way, it’s time the media did their job and stop acting like Mr. Obama’s poodles.

The abject failure and refusal of Congress to act in the Obama eligibility crisis continues to harm America and to threaten her citizens as anger, confusion, and doubt build over whether or not our sitting President is even eligible to hold office, let alone be elected to a second term.

Their “wait and see” attitude is the pernicious blight staining everything else. When a 29 year old Iowa man took a trip to Africa to pursue his love of zoology, he was so overwhelmed by Kenyans asking him how he liked having a Kenyan citizen govern the United States that the patriotic Lucas Daniel Smith abandoned his search for an elusive rare animal to turn instead to a quest to verify Barack Obama’s birth story.

In a certified letter he sent to every member of Congress dated July 4, 2010, he said, “Kenyans were amused at how gullible Americans could be when it came to obvious things like the fact that Kenyans overtly admit to Barack Jr’s Kenyan birth, yet the Americans continue to believe they know better.”

Smith developed a plan that involved taking two Kenyan police and military officers with him to two different Mombasa hospitals. Smith told Congress, “I paid a total of three monetary bribes in the amounts of $200, USD, $500 USD, and $5,000 USD” to get Obama’s birth certificate.

While the premier internet site for everything about Obama’s eligibility, World Net Daily, doubts the reliability of the birth certificate Lucas Daniel Smith obtained from the Mombasa Coast Province General Hospital, he did come away with it, and that’s worth something.

How many 29 year olds in America would travel so far from home to pursue a love of finding rare animals, only to abandon that search in an attempt to find the truth about his president’s eligibility to hold office? How many young men would hand over nearly $6,000 to Kenyans in this noble quest? In fact, how many young American men would then come home and spend a month’s time preparing this huge project of mailing a seven page certified and notarized letter to 535 members of Congress, at a cost to him of $1,824.35?

An embossed BC seal is clearly visible on the document sent to Congress on July 4, 2010. Furthermore, Attorney Orly Taitz submitted in court affidavit # 28USC 1746 Declaration of Lucas David Smith, in which he swears under penalty of perjury to the authenticity of the Mombasa document.

Smith said to “Honorable Congresswoman” Nancy Pelosi: “Attached to this notarized letter addressed to you, I have included a copy of the 1961 Coast Province General Hospital birth certificate of US President (de facto) Barack Hussein Obama II. I personally obtained this documentation (in) February 2009 from his birth hospital in Mombasa, Kenya... He (Obama) was born to a father who himself was born in the Colony of Kenya... and that the father never acquired U.S. citizenship when he was in the USA via a student visa.”

Smith, on page 4, of the letter, cites Senate Publication 103-21, referring to the NBC clause, (which) “raises the question of whether someone born to American parents outside of the U.S. would be eligible to hold the office.” Now here is what really hurts. Smith tells Pelosi: “It is your Constitutional duty to openly and overtly investigate this matter.” He pleads with her to conduct an investigation and hearing. His notary says Smith proved to him that he is who he (Smith) says he is and that Smith executed the letter.

Congress knows. Forensic expert Doug Vogt sent his findings to FBI Director Mueller and 90 members of Congress. And in the face of the huge Sheriff Joe Arpaio findings announced at his blockbuster press conference, Congress does nothing! For what did America fight and win her war of Independence? Will her Congress save her now?!

If Barack Hussein Obama II is Malcolm X’s biological son and ideological heir, it would uniquely explain the mystery of why he was so generously helped by so many Arab and communist “friends in high places” long before he was a “somebody.”

Malcolm ensured his secret son would learn the ways of Islam, of revolution, tutored by the finest socialist ideologues of his time, and the future, funded by Saudi and Syrian financiers. He would be groomed for leadership, educated and trained to organize the community called the United States of America.

In August I received a curious email. As a magazine that covers international politics, with a focus on Mideast affairs, Israel Insider gets more from its fair share of baseless tips and phony rumors. I ignore most and delete them unread. This one was a bit different. It came from a national security lawyer with extensive credentials and intelligence connections that checked out, and a phone number.

Israel Insider had been running a series of articles exploring the vagaries of Barack Obama’s birth, and his concealed documentation, and this was the jumping off point of the email, which confirmed the claim that Obama was not born in Hawaii, that “Mossad are going with Mombasa” but “Proving Mombasa is not so easy, as NSIS in Nairobi are clamming up tight, as are MI6 in London, who have the original Mombasa file and full details of the birth.”

He said that “Disproving Honolulu is child’s play. You’ve already shown that the birth certificate put forward by Obama (whose people privately are not denying Mombasa, by the way) is a fake. Why fake it? If he was born in Honolulu he could obtain a genuine one. Hawaii Dept of Health would hardly denounce a potential presidential candidate’s birth certificate as fraudulent without cross-checking birth records for August 1961. No birth was registered in the name of Obama in Honolulu in August 1961.”

(This last detail may explain why Hawaiian officials last Friday confirmed that a birth certificate does indeed exist but conspicuously refused to release any details or even confirm that the details conform to those on the computer-generated Certification of Live Birth. The name on the “original” certificate may in fact not be Obama nor the birthplace Honolulu. But Obama’s recent visit “to his grandmother” may well have had less to do with her health than eliciting this vague and inconclusive statement from the Hawaiian Health Department.)

The source continues: “There is no evidence Ann Dunham had even met Obama Senior in or around November 1960, the alleged time of conception, indeed it is not even clear Obama was in Honolulu at that time, although he may have been. Ann Dunham was only 17 and although she might have been in Honolulu the timing is tight.” “More to the point, she was in neither of the medical centers put forward by the Obama campaign (question: why do they not know in which hospital he was born?) on August 4th, nor are there medical records to back up the claimed birth, nor has an attending physician been named. I’ve heard of births with the father absent, births with the mother absent a bit trickier.”

“There are said to be photos of Ann Dunham on Waikiki Beach taken in or about July 1961, when she is supposed to have been in her third trimester, in a bikini, taken by a fellow female student. AD is clearly not pregnant. Media have not yet talked to fellow students, but it can’t be long. There are bound to be other photos of AD in existence taken during the alleged 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Obama campaign are terrified some one will press for her medical records, which have been accessed by CIA.”

“Moving to Indonesia the Obama campaign are also suppressing the Indonesian immigration and passport records, which I believe show him as a Kenyan citizen, and the naturalisation records. They have not denied Internet claims he was naturalised in Indonesia. If he was a US citizen there should be a visa record to back that up.”

“Obama Senior was murdered in Kenya in 1982 to silence him. Interesting story re his sister Auma as well — she appears to be a full sister, not a half-sister as he is claiming, i.e. they share the same mother. She was ordered back to Kenya in 2007 to prevent DNA testing …. CIA did a DNA test on the grandparents, using saliva from glasses, which conclusively rules out any relationship between Obama and the Dunhams.”

“The source said that the Dunham family became involved because Stanley Dunham, Sr. was suspected of espionage. Boeing, he said, has “a 1944 security file on Stanley Dunham in connection with suspected sabotage of B-17G aircraft at their Wichita Kansas plant and the theft of B-29 blueprints, a full set of which were passed to the German Abwehr via Lisbon by June 1944. Ann Dunham appears to have been chosen as the surrogate mother in 1963 because of the family connection to German Intelligence. German assets in the US, including Rezko, who is connected to the Syrian Mukhabarat and the German DVD, sponsored his career.

“Effectively,” the source concludes, “Obama is a German sleeper agent.”

Well, this is a lot to take in, and on first reading it struck me that the source had been reading too many Le Carre novels or Bond movies. I mean, really: “The Manchurian Candidate” meets “The Boy from Mombassa”?

It seemed completely preposterous, and indeed I initially dismissed it as preposterous. Obama a “German sleeper agent”? Of course, in those days the East Germans were a Soviet satellite, and the DDR was perhaps the most feared and ideological of the communist states, with more than a sprinkling of rehabilitated Nazis uncured of their genetic fantasies and experiments. 1961-1963 were the peak years of the Cold War, with Berlin playing a central role in East-West hostilities.

But what made no sense to me was why anyone in the spy business, or anyone in East Germany for that matter, would give a damn to find a foster parent for a newborn illegitimate offspring of mixed black-white parentage. What made him so special that the Syrians and the German would go to all the trouble or see some potential in grooming him? What could possibly make intelligence agencies groom from infancy a sleeper agent.

The source didn’t answer this, nor could I, over the succeeding months of the campaign. We exchanged a few more emails, but the nagging question of “why” anyone would bother with this baby would not leave me. What did come out in the ensuing weeks, however, was a litany of unexplained facts in Obama’s youthful history, of help from strangers in high places all along the way, benefactors who had either Arab-Muslim or Communist-Social connections. There was his Islamic education in Indonesia. There was the fact that in Hawaii the boy was tutored in the ways of revolution by leading black activists, Muslim activists, and Communist activists. Influentia black nationalist and Communist Frank Marshall Davis would become a huge influence in the young Obama’s life.

But things really got strange with the revelation that Khalid al-Mansour, close adviser to a Saudi billionaire and royal family helped Obama get into Harvard Law School (and reportedly Columbia before that) and financed his education and advancement.

It was al-Mansour who asked Percy Sutton, a high profile black lawyer active in the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s, to help Obama get into Harvard. Sutton described Mansour as “the principal adviser to one of the world?s richest men. He told me about Obama and asked him to “write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School, Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?” Sutton obliged: ”I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly.”

How in the world would Percy Sutton know that Obama, a young man he had never met, was a “genius”? It turns out that Sutton was among the lawyers for Malcolm X.

And why would a big wheel like al-Mansour take such an interest in a drug-taking party boy from a second-rate college? While helping Obama get into Harvard, he was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family, Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz and Khalid al-Ibrahim, and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, nephew if King Abdallah of Saudi Arabia. So there was, early on, a direct connection between Obama and Saudi royalty and an aggressive effort by a Saudi agent to make Obama’s way in the world.

It was this connection to Saudi wealth that has led to Obama being dubbed the “Mansourian candidate”.

Then there were the revelations about Weather Underground co-founder Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadette Dohrn — unrepentant terrorists and communists both — who helped launch Obama’s political career from their home. Ayers, indeed, may well have ghost-written Obama’s memoir Dreams from my Father, creating the impression that Obama was also skilled in writing as well as “community organizing.”

More substantially, there was Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the Syrian born real estate wheeler-dealer and convicted racketeer, who helped Obama raise his first campaign funds and assisted him financially.

There were influential Palestinian scholars and propagandists Rashid Khalidi and Edward Said, colleagues and personal friends of Obama, despite his unconvincing efforts to distance himself from them and squelch his praise for their anti-Israel ideologies.

There was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s spiritual mentor, who conducted his marriage, baptized their children, and gave Obama’s campaign manifesto “Audacity of Hope” its title before being distanced (at least for the duration of the campaign) when their close twenty year relationship came to light.

And, of course, there is neighbor Louis Farrakhan, current leader of the Nation of Islam, who recently spoke of Obama as the “Messiah” and — as a report from Ken Timmerman, citing an insider, today confirms — enjoys an “open channel” of communication with him.

Why did all of these important scholars and ideologues, fundraiser and networkers, these millionaires and billionaires – especially from the Arab and Islamic world, and extreme socialist and communist party activists — reach out to help this unknown, undereducated young man, many before Obama was anybody of known importance? Was it just that he was tall and handsome and bright, with a silver tongue?

Or was there some other factor – a genetic factor, a secret legacy of heredity — that mysteriously opened the doors and wallets and elicited the kindness of strangers?

Last week, a long and rambling post attributed to one Rudy Schultz was made to the Atlas Shrugs blog of Pamela Geller. The starting point for the post was revelation of school records that show that the supposed mother of Barack Obama enrolled in the University of Washington just a few weeks after her son was purportedly born in Hawaii. But the intention of the poster was apparently to imply that Obama’s father was unlikely to have been Barack Hussein Obama, Senior (photo at left).

The post provides photos and a video of Malcolm X, with a notation that he and Obama had the same height (6'2-6'-3?) and striking physical resemblances: identical hairline, jawline, and other distinctive facial features, similarities not shared by Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. or other members of the Luo tribe bloodline.

The post noted striking similarities in speaking cadence and style, not to mention a bright flashing smile and a wry sense of humor. The man born in Nebraska as Malcolm Little also was a light shade of brown, the product of a mother from Grenada who, he said, “looked like a white woman” and a black father.

The post also traced the path of Malcolm X in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, a journey that took him to Africa and the young leadership circle to which Barack Hussein Obama Sr. also belonged, including the activist Tom Mboya who was behind the program which airlifted, with US funding, young African leaders to Hawaii to study at the university, a cohort to which Obama senior belonged.

But Schultz concludes his post by pulling his punches a bit: “While Malcolm X may not be Obama’s biological father, Malcolm X is demonstrably Barack Hussein Obama’s philosophical father, and the lineage is undeniable! Obama Jr. was sired in the social soup stirred by Malcolm X.”

While Schultz backed away from claiming that Obama’s biological father may in fact be Malcolm X, the hereditary claim cannot be discounted. If he was indeed the illegitimate offspring of Malcolm – the closest that one can get to “royalty” in the messianic broth of black radical Islamic and Communistic politics – that would explain the otherwise inexplicable:

why this “illegitimate” baby, and later this young man – a druggie and underachiever — would have had paved for him the royal road to privilege and power, paid for his Ivy League education, got him jobs and a home, raised millions of dollars for his political career, got him selected to address the DNC in 2004, got him into the senate in 2006, and led him straight to where he is today, just two years hence, on the verge of the US presidency, powered by hundreds of millions of untraceable overseas contributions.

In the minds of the leftist and Islamic leaders, he is the heir to the throne of “freedom fighters”, the revolutionary prodigal son – heir to legacy of black powers and black Islam — come home to rule.

Nothing short of a DNA test is going to prove who Obama Jr.’s father really is, or, indeed who is real mother is, or is not. His long-suppressed birth certificate, which he wrote about possessing in Dreams from my Father and which Hawaii now admits is on file, could help solve the mystery.

No one to my knowledge has explored the possibility that Stanley Ann may not be the birth-mother. That would explain the lack of hospital records in Honolulu and the fact that no one can remember seeing her pregnant. Suddenly she just appeared in Washington state with a little baby boy.

There is, too, a curious comment that Stanley Ann Dunham reportedly made after high school, remembered by a friend, that “I don’t need to get married or date to have a baby.” And the fact that in June 1960 her family – who were reportedly highly sympathetic with left-wing causes — suddenly left Washington state for Hawaii, where they continued to be involved with socialist-communist causes and personalities, such as Frank Marshall Davis (identified by Obama only as “Frank” in Obama’s Dreams from my Father), who proved so influential in his upbringing.

There is also new information, published in Atlas Shrugs and confirmed elsewhere, from the University of Hawaii that she was only enrolled only in the fall of 1960, and that from the Fall of 1961 (weeks after Barack Jr. was reportedly born) and through the following spring, she was enrolled at the University of Washington.

There is the fact that she abandoned this baby on repeated occasions, and the fact that Obama returned the favored when he refused to visit her as she sickened and died. If she was merely his foster mother, then she was just a means to an end, to be discarded when she had outlived her usefulness.

If Barack Hussein Obama II is Malcolm X’s biological son and ideological heir, it would uniquely explain the mystery of why he was so generously helped by so many Arab and communist “friends in high places” long before he was a “somebody.”

Malcolm ensured his secret son would learn the ways of Islam, of revolution, tutored by the finest socialist ideologues of his time, and the future, funded by Saudi and Syrian financiers. He would be groomed for leadership, educated and trained to organize the community called the United States of America.

Malcolm broke with Elijah Muhammad in large measure because the then-leader of the Nation of Islam had conducted illicit affairs and sired illegitimate children. If Malcolm himself had sired a boy, it is not something he would have wanted to advertise, or to bring along with him in his hectic and dangerous revolutionary path. But he may well have arranged to give the boy a first-class upbringing and education, free from the burden of his own violent legacy, his history as a convicted felon, his likely fate as a martyr, to realize the legacy he never could. He knew he was “a walking dead man,” marked for death — how could he perpetuate his principles beyond the grave?

Malcolm X was marginalized even from the black leadership after he said, following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, that the “chickens had come home to roost.” That term would be resurrected by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, much to Obama’s chagrin, in a sermon discussing the reasons for the Islamic attacks on the United States, reasons that Obama echoed in his own post-9/11 statements, in somewhat less inflammatory terms.

Malcolm himself was assassinated in 1965, reportedly by agents from the Nation of Islam.

If indeed Obama is not just Malcolm’s spiritual son but his biological one as well, it would represent the realization of a lifelong preparation to seize power, not by guns but by genes, and the genius of Obama’s handlers, mentors and assistants along the way who prepared his path to power.

According to this scenario, the sleeper agent is now wide awake, although it is also conceivable that Obama himself may not be fully aware of the role he was programmed to play. Nor is it clear who has supplanted his initial handlers — which my source identified as East German and Syrian — although the Saudis and their allies, including those within the US government and not just the Democratic side of the aisle, clearly seem implicated with pulling some of the strings and pouring some of the huge funding that has brought him to where he is today.

Those who have helped him reach to the threshold of power — some knowingly and some “useful idiots” — have been working in concert to fulfill the revolutionary goals of Malcolm’s by putting his boy in power, using the system to destroy the system. Early voting. ACORN. Untraceable online funds. Brilliant. But that, of course, is just the means to the end.

If Malcolm X secretly sired Barack Obama, then the title Dreams from My Father would indeed take on a whole new meaning, with Obama Sr. revealed as a kind of paternal proxy, a stand-in for a revolutionary of a higher spiritual and political order whose identity the self-creating son could never reveal if his own ambitions, and his real father’s ambitions for him, were to be realized.

In 1964, the year before his death, Malcolm gave an address, “Ballots or Bullets” (audio available here) in which he urged African Americans to turn away from violence and create revolutionary change through the US electoral system.

If the O is in fact an X, and wins the red, white and blue tic-tac-toe on Tuesday to become the President and Command in Chief of the United States then, truly, America’s chickens will have come home to roost.

On Saturday, March 31, 2012, a press conference was held by a commissioned law enforcement body to present additional findings from their investigation into the bona fides and background of a man currently occupying the highest elected position in America. The investigation not only includes the forensic irregularities of the birth documentation submitted by Barack Hussein Obama, but into two additional areas. The official law enforcement investigation is also encompassing problems confirmed to exist with the authenticity of his selective service registration, a matter we’ve previously reported. Additionally and perhaps more explosive, investigation has broadened into the actions of Hillary Clinton and her closest political operatives during the latter part of the 2008 presidential campaign.

Most people following this issue are aware of the irregularities surrounding Obama’s selective service registration. Yet few appear to be aware that detectives from the Arizona investigative team have been methodically securing affidavits documenting alleged criminal activity by the Obama campaign during the 2008 Democratic Party primary.

“Something” happened during the latter portion of the campaign that involved Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama. Recall that Obama and Clinton ditched the press and their respective staff members to meet in secret during the late night hours of Thursday, June 5, 2008, at the home of Senator Dianne Feinstein. The meeting lasted about an hour, and what was discussed was never publicly disclosed.

The expansion of the official investigation is being deliberately ignored by the mainstream media, including outlets often identified with the conservative agenda. Evidence suggests that this deliberate media “blackout” is being orchestrated and ordered at the highest levels of the American government.

Preliminary investigative findings

On March 1, 2012, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio held a press conference to announce their preliminary findings of a six-month long investigation into the legitimacy of Barack Hussein Obama’s long form birth certificate that was published on the White House website on April 27, 2011. At that press conference, Sheriff Arpaio stated that the official investigation, conducted by seasoned and sworn law enforcement officers, found “probable cause to believe that the [document] is a computer generated forgery.” Arpaio added: “I do not believe that it is a scan of an original 1961 paper document, as represented by the White House when the long-form birth certificate was made public.” [Emphasis added].

I’ve spoken at length with lead Detective Mike Zullo in my capacity as an investigator before and after that initial press conference. It is clear that the objective of his team of seasoned and sworn law enforcement officers is to seek and expose the truth about Obama’s background and legal qualifications for the highest office in the land, wherever it might lead. Authenticated evidence of any type, including exculpatory evidence is being sought as well.

Detective Zullo confirmed, however, that their efforts are being obstructed by government officials, and publicly marginalized by the media. Based on most recent investigative findings, government agencies have blocked legitimate subpoena efforts, or worse, might have altered or destroyed evidence with apparent impunity.

Such actions or inactions of government agencies in this regard should give pause to even the most ardent detractors of the eligibility matter if they were at all interested in the truth.

Threats to the media

We were perhaps the first to document and report the threats to the media in a column published on August 4, 2009, citing evidence we obtained dating back to late 2008. Information provided here over two years ago was publicly confirmed by lead investigator Mike Zullo in a March 22, 2012 interview published this week by the Western Center for Journalism. Excerpted from that report:

The executive producers of the national show, 3 hours before air time, pulled the script, literally leaving the temporary host with no script whatsoever.

For a nationally syndicated show, this is absolutely unheard of, particularly with a fill-in doing the show. Programing [sic] is scheduled days in advance as hours of work and preparation often go into them; it is after all a business and one which must inform accurately. To have a script tossed just hours before airing is simply not done without explanation or substitution.

Lead Investigator Zullo revealed in this conversation that several individuals have come forth to provide testimony; the identity of these witnesses is being withheld for their protection. They identify producers, reporters, T.V. and radio personalities who have been told specifically by intimidating individuals who state clearly, they are not going to report on this story. These witnesses have been told: “If you breathe a word about it on air, we will make certain you never work in this business again,” said Investigator Zullo. Apparently those making the threats have the power to carry through on them.

Some of these witnesses have been told this along with a sinister inquiry into how a family member is doing over at XYZ (details have been changed to protect witness identity), or some other means of letting that person know the powers that be know exactly where their family members are…

As also confirmed by law enforcement, our investigation has found that the threats to the media have taken several forms. At the highest of corporate levels, it appears that government agencies such as the FCC, the FTC and even the IRS are being used to force parent companies into compliance with the administration’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” warnings. Complicity reigns in other cases where contributions buy exclusives, the mainstay of mainstream media. And in others, it simply comes down to something that can be termed “presstitution,” or the act of acquiescence to keep their positions and lifestyles in exchange for their silence.

Perhaps the most insidious threats of all, however, involve individuals working in the media but are not in the limelight, yet could provide information about the activities behind the scenes intrinsic to the media’s complicity. As detailed above by Detective Zullo, threats do not stop at the specter of unemployment, but extend to the well-being of their families.

Threats to Sheriff Joe Arpaio

In the midst of the investigation spearheaded by Sheriff Arpaio’s team, the Obama justice department has ratcheted up its legal campaign against the Sheriff for enforcing the law against illegal aliens within his jurisdiction. This is a shameful tactic being employed by the Holder Justice Department under orders by the Obama administration.

Out on a limb

Findings by the commissioned law enforcement body have been met with a campaign of propaganda short on facts but heavy on baseless ridicule and hollow charges of racism. Such tactics should come as no surprise.

A 2009 Christmas ornament on the White House Christmas tree featured a picture of Mao Zedong, communist leader of China in the twentieth century. The reign of Mao Zedong was facilitated by the communist government’s use of propaganda and media censorship. While the White House and their own “Ministry of Propaganda,” Media Matters, trivialized the existence of a communist in the White House, former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn proudly embraced Mao as one of her favorite political philosophers in a speech she delivered the previous June.

Anyone with the most basic knowledge of history can see the tactics used to refute valid concerns about the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama are quite consistent with the tactics of Mao’s oppressive regime. It is apparent that the Mao Christmas ornament did not fall from the White House tree.

Who is really occupying the Oval Office?

The Arizona investigative team of commissioned law enforcement officers found probable cause that the most basic of all forms of identity for the man sitting in the Oval Office, the birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama II, is a computer generated forgery. Think about that for a moment. The document that has the imprimatur of the Obama White House is likely a forgery.

Furthermore, that document was posted only after Obama authorized his legal team to fight against any release of his identification papers that also include his school and passport records, among others. The fight did not come without a cost. Estimates of legal expenses to prevent disclosure of identifying documents are well into the seven figures.

Despite such effort and expense, some well-known analysts and pundits want us to believe that Obama was “playing” his enemies with a needless diversion, claiming that the eligibility issue was nothing more than a distraction from “real” issues. Many others have since folded with the release of the purported “real” birth certificate released last April, stating that the matter is closed.

To accept that the matter should be rendered moot with the release of the Obama authorized document, one must then admit that the initial document presented by Obama sanctioned myth-busting sites was not legitimate.

Others simply choose to remain silent, or believe the answer is to “vote Obama out” in November. Is that how we now address possible criminal activity at the highest levels of government? If so, I would submit that Richard Nixon is owed an apology, posthumously.

As unbelievable as it sounds, it is a fact that the actual legal identity of the individual who has occupied the office of the President of the United States for the last 3-1/2 years remains a very legitimate and valid question. It is also a fact that this individual has used Barry Soetoro as his legal name, and there has been no authenticated evidence to show that he legally changed it back to Barack Hussein Obama II at any time during his adult life.

To Russia with love?

If the issue of Obama’s legal identity seems trivial and a fringe issue in the scheme of things, consider the path this country has taken over the last three-and-a-half years. Even more frightening, consider the path not yet taken.

A window into that path was opened by a “hot” microphone that captured Obama’s utterances to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev on March 26, 2012. The world heard Obama say that he would have more flexibility in his second term to adjust our missile defense program to the better liking of the Russians.

The media turned this insight into his plans for the defense of our allies and homeland into tongue-in-cheek reports, downplaying the significance of his statements.

No one in the media or elsewhere are making any connection to a very peculiar 2005 incident involving Obama, a junior Senator and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Richard Lugar, a Republican Senator from Indiana and chairman of that committee, and the Russian FSB.

During their travels to Russia for the purposes of nuclear disarmament talks, the delegation was detained at the Russian airport of Perm by the FSB for about three hours in August 2005. The Russian FSB confiscated Barack Hussein Obama’s passport. Initial reports indicated an irregularity with his passport, although subsequent reports downplayed the incident. What was the real reason for this very strange detention, and what does the FSB know about Obama’s passport that Americans have been prevented to see?

Over the objections of career politicians, race bating progressive attack dogs, intellectually dishonest political pundits and a compromised media, it should be very clear by now that it is in the best interest of this country for the truth to revealed about Barack Hussein Obama II, or is it Barry Soetoro?

The survival of our nation is at stake.Who Is Barack Hussein Obama, Really?

My simple observation is that the United States is going to hell in a hand basket- courtesy of a grisly cast of characters, one of which I will touch upon in this piece. Barack Hussein Obama is my primary source of utter disgust and he is certainly not alone. However, he is the focus of my disgust and his mere existence in power is a detriment to the United States.

The people have to smarten up and see this person for who he really is. This person is a Pandora’s Box of all things evil, yet most can’t see past healthcare and greenhouse gases. Look deeper, look into the future. The evidence is there, you have to sift through it. Put the pieces together.

This person who lied, cheated and deceived his way into the White House is best described as traitor, charlatan and definitely enemy of US and the free world. I’m still puzzled as to where exactly this Manchurian type candidate came from, what rock he crawled out from under and who exactly lifted the rock and connected the puppet and strings to their control bar. Like a fart in a crowded elevator, right out of nowhere, the senator mysterious origins complete with huge, huge backing in a financial sense but furthermore in a strange, almost twilight zone sense of illusions, mystery, trickery, forgery and deceit. His birth documents displayed online are not a true birth certificate, but in fact that document came from companies that offer services much as a company similar to VitalChek would.

I can speak from experience on this because a few years ago I needed my birth certificate and unfortunately couldn’t place my hands on it at that precise time. I ordered a “birth record” type document from a company and it looks just like the type Obama produced. Funny thing is, I now have both in my possession, the original and the one similar to what Obama produced online and the only similarities are that they both contain my name and my date of birth. The original has much more information on it and a certificate number as well as the original background- whereas the second one, the one I purchased is on green and white dotted type paper, just like Obama’s and as far as I’m concerned is easy to forge, is only issued by simple confirmation from the actual place of record (courthouse, county records, etc.) and so far, no one in Honolulu is cooperating in producing the actual original. It was issued by a corporation, not an official government office.

No one can show a single picture of this citizen imposter that proves any of his history, no one with any credibility remembers him, we cannot see his school records and we don’t have any little footprints and hand prints like they used to do back in the early sixties on children. We don’t have any driver’s licenses, bus passes, library cards, prom photos well except for the photos from the Indonesian Madressa where the little Muslim learned to hate the free people in this world. All we can trace is that he hung around with communist scum, anti-US militant types and terrorists.

Definitely a remote implant into our American political system, being run by a secret cast of grisly puppeteers who to date remain nameless yet if you watch the benefactors of his actions, it allows you a host of potential puppet masters to pick from. In a world where money and power can mold any outrageous conspiracy into grim reality, anything is possible. The US political system has long been corrupted and is not the safe, democratic model for the republic that it was originally intended to be. We have proven this time and time again. The office of the president is simply an oval stage where the front man sits, while the true powers that be remain hidden behind the curtain. As the marks in this well planned debacle, all we get to see is the front man in this scam, the Wiz.

All disrespect intended.

I am convinced that the only reason this socialist traitor to the US was able to slither into the White house nest is simply because everyone was tired of George Bush & Company and in reality, anyone who knew how to utilize social media, social networking and could appeal to the social malcontents could have run for president and beat out the Republicans. Under normal circumstances Obama wouldn’t have made it into office. But in the middle of Middle East conflicts with troops being killed, the economy sliding quickly into the toilet, terrorist threats, high fuel prices and just about anything else that could be going wrong was going wrong, anything can happen. Thus it did happen.

Reality is that a good portion of the people thought anything polar opposite of Bush might be worthwhile, all the way down to skin color. Then you dump in corrupt groups like ACORN, the little Obama troops he had campaigning on the streets, black celebrities, the various scumbag Muslim organizations here in the US, the ghetto members of society who think all good things come from the government, our young people who are pretty much clueless about real life outside of daddy’s house or the university who suddenly became experts on life and world in general, the elderly who Bush had shafted on medical benefits- well unfortunately this adds up to enough votes to get even clowns like Obama into the White house. Only proves that sh*t, does indeed happen.

To watch Americans put a known socialist and communist into power only proves that the vote and logic was severely tainted. Obama didn’t win by decision, he won by deceit. This monkey wearing a suit hasn’t told the truth about anything since he popped into on the political scene out of nowhere.

He is a protégé of the racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the American hating, white people hating big mouthed Negro racist which in itself should shed more insight into this anti-American that wormed his way into the oval office. Of course he quickly distanced himself from the mouthy Negro racist reverend and people bought his excuses and lies on that entire matter. Bottom line is, Obama was a member of that church, until public opinion swayed him into misaligning himself from it.

Obama’s reign only proves that are indeed some truly stupid people in this country. I’m beginning to think that the legal age to vote should be moved to age 21 (the majority of our 18-21 year olds today, especially in college and university are a disappointment when it comes to reality and logical thinking) and perhaps there should be a simple test that the voter should have to pass before he is let into the booth to do serious damage. Perhaps some level of literacy should be required, and some recent record of employment along with a utility bill in their name or a rent receipt or receipt for a mortgage payment or a paid off home and as well, we investigate if they are on welfare and haven’t ever had a job – which would basically eliminate any further voters for Obama. In other words, only people that are responsible, productive, tax paying members of society should have anything to say about how this country is run and who will run it. That would certainly improve the current broken voting system.

Besides, if the working people of America have been paying all your bills along with your rent and food since you could walk, then I’m not overly concerned with what you think. And I’m not talking about people that worked hard all their life and just hit some hard times. I’m talking about the ones that never had a job, have 2 or 3 “baby daddy’s” and squirt out children with no shame because they get a bigger welfare check for each one they bring into this world on our tab. These malcontents and disenchanted ones are the very core of the Obama citizen support and voters. But, hey, they did get a government cell phone out of the deal with more than just emergency dialing capabilities, so why not give your vote to the Kenyan in the White House.

The entire voting process in America is a joke. It really doesn’t matter who you vote for because there is this mysterious entity named the “Electoral College” that decides who is going to occupy the White House anyway. In any other democratic country in the world, the actual votes are counted and the votes directly elect the official, however, in the US, the Electoral College determines what the people want or better yet, what the Electoral College think the people need. In the last election I guess they thought the people of the US needed to be bent over a table- and did just that. The voting group has been a source of argument and debate for some time, primarily because it isn’t 100% accurate especially in the latitude and leeway it gives “swing states” and should, in the interest of the voting public be disbanded and done away with.

Let’s look at another very methodically sinister side of Barack Hussein Obama, the Muslim. More than that, we have a Muslim in charge of the most powerful country in the world. A Muslim that has used the office of the President, his authority and the military resources of the United States to help build the Islamic Caliphate, the long sought after single Islamic entity, where all Muslims are together under one rule. Obama thinks he has the right, the authority and the power to tell leaders of other countries to step down so that the inmates can be in charge of the asylum.

He helped topple Egypt’s government, turning the country over to the Muslim Brotherhood or to their chosen minions. The country is still in turmoil. Obama then went after Libya and turned that country over to al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Qaeda was actually assisted by NATO forces in taking over Libya. Look at the flags on buildings and being flown throughout Libya. There is a distinct and undeniable al Qaeda presence throughout the country now and we helped put them there. Now we are threatening Syria with the same fate.

The issue I have is that although these countries may have had bad guys running them, they were the preferred bad guys as they kept elements such as al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist entities in line, under control. Now, without these leaders in place, the countries are in turmoil and will remain so until someone steps up and offers to be their leader; and after Syria falls, Jordan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia will be next in the four year reelection plan toppling of leaders, the IslamicObaminoes game.

Last man standing will probably be Iran as Obama conveniently keeps Israel at bay from reducing them to rubble, and Iran will pull these Islamic countries in distress up under its umbrella, either by force or some Islamic call to the Caliphate, and we will be looking at billions of militant Muslims all being led by the most deadly Islamic regime imaginable, that being Iran. A nuclear armed Iran because Obama has let them arm themselves and has done absolutely nothing about Iran, because truth be known, he is in bed with Iran- as Obama is a devout Muslim with a questionable and obviously manufactured background, no provable history and questionable financing for his sudden rise from punk to President.

Am I crazy? No, not even close. You do the math. You move the chess pieces around in a recent past, current and futuristic game of world power between the good guys and the bad guys. What do you come up with?

Why is the US still just as dependent on Middle Eastern oil as it ever was, four years after promises were made to get off the Middle Eastern oil nipple by Barack Hussein Obama?

Why isn’t the US purchasing every drop of oil it can from its northern neighbor to help get off the ME oil nipple? Obama has tossed up a lot of roadblocks to bringing more Canadian oil into the US which would help cut the US dependency on Middle Eastern crude.

Why has there been several “suggestions” by Obama Democrats that the 2012 elections should be postponed for various reasons? Why do I smell a terrorist attack on US soil, massive market crash or other national/international disaster coming pre-election to be used to postpone the election?

Why does the US want to engage in peace talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan? Are you kidding me? This must be an Islamic thing straight from the White House.

Why is Sharia Law showing its face in the US Judicial system as it did in Pennsylvania? Why is Judge Martin still on the bench? Why was Sharia law used as the precedent over US law?

Note** This Islamic adherence to Sharia law must explain why Obama has no regard for the US Supreme Court, since he as a Muslim would only believe in Sharia law and would deem the US Supreme Court as nothing more than a council of infidels.

There are more questions than there are answers in the Obama puzzle. My advice is keep putting the pieces where they fit as the end game picture will become obvious.

For several years, an Orwellian-type fear of being "marginalized" held reporters and pundits back from questioning Barack Obama's eligibility to hold the office of the presidency. To raise an eyebrow at the bizarre secrecy of Obama was off-limits. To question whether the historic definition of "natural born citizen" applied to Obama was taboo.

The era of fear, however, is happily winding down. It will take some time for this realization to fully take hold. But make no mistake: the tables have turned.

Like it or not, the ground has shifted, and it cannot shift back. The evidence of Obama's forgeries is not going away.

Up until this point, Mr. Obama controlled everything, including the talking points and burden of proof.

Rather than simply produce certified paper copies for state election officials and make the original available for officials to inspect in Hawaii, Obama played games with his purported birth certificate. We were told for three years that Obama's birth certificate had been posted online in 2008 -- though it turns out that it was a scant certification. In 2010, when confronted with the alarming doubts of the American people, Mr. Obama lamented to a sympathetic Brian Williams of NBC: "I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." The following year, out of left field, on April 27, 2011, Obama "released" the elusive birth certificate by posting a now-discredited file image online.

This time he wasn't teasing. It was "proof positive." Mr. Obama, in his robotic style, barked that it was time to stop the "silliness" and move on.

No one ever wanted Obama to get all crazy and walk around with his birth certificate plastered on his forehead. But many took the reasonable position of wanting the mysterious birth certificate produced, not plastered or uploaded to a computer. Many wanted Obama to produce certified copies for state officials and make the original available for inspection.

But because no authority forced him to comply with basic legal standards, Mr. Obama was able to create a sideshow atmosphere by selecting non-experts to verify his internet postings behind closed doors. His media sycophants were able to make those who questioned Obama's staunch secrecy appear as the unreasonable ones. Somehow the burden of proof was erroneously placed on the citizenry to prove that Obama wasn'tborn in Hawaii.

Well, the burden never actually rested with the people to prove anything. That was all smoke and mirrors. No conspiracy theories are needed to demand that Obama comply with basic legal standards -- especially in context of a state with a history of certifying foreign births as Hawaiian.

After Obama "released" the birth certificate in 2011, nonpartisan computer software experts immediately recognized that the embarrassing image had been computer-assembled. Of course, few in the free press dared to report on the "silliness." Fox News quickly summonsed Adobe-certified expert Jean-Claude Tremblayto to conclude, nothing fishy here (but his ORC explanation has been demonstrably debunked by the control-test findings of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's investigative team -- see below).

It's simply unfathomable to the consensus media that the One they worked so hard to elect could be a fraud -- or, at minimum, could have something to hide.

Unfortunately, Sheriff Joe Arpaio's team of law enforcement and investigative experts were able to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that forgeries have been committed. It turns out that the sheriff simply confirmed the "open secret" shared by technical document experts across the country. As with many crimes, if not for their abject carelessness, the forgers might have gotten away with it. But the strength of the evidence is such that local law enforcement was able to conclude that "probable cause" exists to show that the White House uploaded a computer-generated forgery of a birth certificate. Ditto with Obama's Selective Service registration form: it is also a crude forgery.

Who would have thought that Obama's illegal immigration nemesis, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, could turn the tables on Obama?

With the help of his friends in the consensus media, Mr. Obama had been afforded the luxury of effectively remaining silent for years. Obama was able to sit back as a third-party onlooker as the media attacked, maligned, and ignored those who raised valid questions.

But the recent findings are similar to the events of a trial in which the burden of proof shifts from one party to the other. In our context, the burden of proof was absurdly placed on the people, but finally it has shifted to Obama. The six-month investigation by trained law enforcement and forensic experts has resulted in a compelling case-in-chief.

Anyone who views the video presentations of the law enforcement team can plainly observe the sea change which shifted the burden to rebut to Obama.

Even though crimes were allegedly committed, at this point, what is taking place is comparable to a civil trial. As such, it is time for Mr. Obama to produce competent evidence. If he has no evidence to produce, he's inpublic opinion trouble. If a court or Congress forces the production of his original documents, it's over for Obama.

Simple little mistakes: hastily uploading an assembled image without first printing and scanning, and cutting a "2008" rubber stamp to create the appearance of "1980." And the Selective Service forgery alone is enough to end Obama's presidency.

Sheriff Arpaio is under personal attack, but curiously, the control-test findings of his team are not being refuted. Apparently oblivious of the fact that the White House tried to cover its tracks by quickly replacing its original file image, NPR naively reports: "For the record, we opened the file using Adobe Photoshop and found that [the birth certificate] contained only a single layer of information." Fortunately, thousands have the original White House posting preserved for perpetuity.

The establishment media are trying every way they can think of to discredit Sheriff Joe. As WND.com president Joseph Farah recently wrote, "[t]hey are no longer just protecting Obama. They are now protecting their own reputations." The problem, of course, is that after all the attacks on Joe Arpaio are exhausted and after all the dust settles, the evidence of Obama's forgeries will remain.

The problem for Obama and his enablers is that the evidence is objective. And it's there for everyone to see. Generations from now, professors in Adobe Photoshop and journalism classes will be discussing and analyzing the evidence of Obama's forgeries.

The very result that timid conservatives and liberal reporters feared will eventually catch up with them: loss of credibility.

On the flipside, those who questioned Obama's bizarre secrecy eventually will be vindicated.

At age 18, Barack Obama admittedly arrived at Occidental College a committed revolutionary Marxist. What was the source of Obama's foundation in Marxism? Throughout his 2008 Presidential campaign and term in office, questions have been raised regarding Barack Obama's family background, economic philosophy, and fundamental political ideology. Dreams from My Real Father is the alternative Barack Obama "autobiography," offering a divergent theory of what may have shaped our 44th President's life and politics.

In Dreams from My Real Father, Barack Obama is portrayed by a voiceover actor who chronicles Barack Obama's life journey in socialism, from birth through his election to the Presidency. The film begins by presenting the case that Barack Obama's real father was Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA propagandist who likely shaped Obama's world view during his formative years. Barack Obama sold himself to America as the multi-cultural ideal, a man who stood above politics. Was the goat herding Kenyan father only a fairy tale to obscure a Marxist agenda, irreconcilable with American values?

This fascinating narrative is based in part on 2 years of research, interviews, newly unearthed footage and photos, and the writings of Davis and Obama himself. Dreams from My Real Father weaves together the proven facts with reasoned logic and speculation in an attempt to fill-in the obvious gaps in Obama's history. Is this the story Barack Obama should have told, revealing his true agenda for "fundamentally transforming America?" Director Joel Gilbert concludes, "The 'Birthers' have been on a fool's errand. To understand Obama's plans for America, the question is not 'Where's the Birth Certificate?,' the question is 'Who is the real father?'"

David Maraniss reminds us that there is no substitute for primary-source reporting in his new book, “Barack Obama: The Story.” Last week, Maraniss told me that he spent nearly four years researching and writing the book, during which time he logged 50,000 miles, conducted close to 400 interviews, and searched libraries on three continents. The result is a biography of more than 600 pages that ends with Obama’s acceptance to Harvard Law School.

While Maraniss told me that his goal was not to vet the president’s own memoir, many readers will be tempted to focus on the contradictions between “The Story” and “Dreams From My Father.” The bigger story is what Maraniss’ revelations say about what others missed or did not seek.

“As a journalist for 35 years, and now author for 20, I’ve learned that there’s always more,” he told me. “There always is. And the first thing that I have to overcome with most of my books is, ‘Don’t we already know this?’ Well, no. … If you start with the mind-set that you know nothing, you will learn a lot that nobody knew before.”

In the introduction, Maraniss writes: “I believe that life is chaotic, a jumble of accidents, ambitions, misconceptions, bold intentions, lazy happenstances, and unintended consequences, yet I also believe that there are connections that illuminate our world, revealing its endless mystery and wonder.”

New story about his birth

He justifies that with details of the president’s youth and his ancestors. One example is Obama’s great-great-grandmother Gabriella Clark Armour, who cared for Obama’s grandfather (Stanley Dunham) after Stanley’s mother committed suicide in 1926. Had she not decided to keep Stanley home on a Monday night in 1935, he would have been in a car with friends that swerved to miss a cow on a Kansas road, thereby driving into the lane of an oil-transport truck. He would have been among the four dead and, presumably, Obama would never have been born.

Then there is Obama’s Kenyan grandfather, Hussein Onyango, often the subject of speculation that he participated in the Mau Mau revolt against the British in Kenya. Maraniss doesn’t buy that conclusion, nor the president’s contention that his grandfather was tortured by the British. Onyango has also been viewed as an important link between Obama and Islam, but again, Maraniss documents a different conclusion. He argues that Onyango was a Muslim who did not follow all its precepts. “His life was more directly shaped by Christian missionaries, and he had no qualms sending his own son, Barack Obama (Sr.), to Christian schools. Moreover, Barry never met Hussein Onyango, but spent most of his childhood with his white grandfather, Stan Dunham, who was raised a Baptist and became a Methodist in Vernon, Texas. Barack Obama, the father of the future president, was not a Muslim but an atheist,” Maraniss writes. He concludes the same about Obama’s mother.

Time and again, Maraniss uncovers never-before-revealed information, including the case of the president’s birth. Not long after Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, delivered the future president, Maraniss writes, an obstetrician-gynecologist named Rodney T. West dined with a friend who asked, “Well, Dr. West, tell me something interesting that happened to you this week.” West was a colleague of David A. Sinclair, who delivered Barack Obama. In response to the question, he responded: “Stanley had a baby. Now that’s something to write about.”

Writes Maraniss: “He went on to explain that Stanley in this instance was a young woman, of course, no miracle birth. Stanley was white. The baby was black. The father was an African with an interesting name too.” The friend at lunch was Barbara Czurles, then a journalist at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, who shared the funny story in a letter she sent to her own father.

Exactly how he smoked pot

Yes, the president told us himself in “Dreams” that he’d smoked pot, but there had been no airing of stories such as Maraniss tells about the Choom Gang, complete with a photograph of this informal club of pot smokers. Who, outside his tight-knit circle, knew that young Barry Obama started the “total absorption” method, which held that “if you exhaled precious pakololo … instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped next time the joint came around.”

We also learned from Obama himself that he had a white girlfriend while living in Manhattan during his Columbia years, but he referred to her only as “a woman” or “my friend.” Maraniss not only found Genevieve Cook, but enticed her to share diary entries she wrote about their relationship, many of which are prescient and some of which are borderline salacious.

In our polarized world, many will parse the vignettes and reaffirm their admiration or antipathy for the president. Some will say it confirms a lack of vetting in 2008. But the takeaway on which all should agree is that the volume of coverage of our modern political debate should not be mistaken for quality. If the two were synonymous, Maraniss would not have had so much to write about, with a second volume in the works. We are all paying a price for eviscerated newsrooms.Who is Obama working for?

This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. I voted for Obama. McCain was a Washington insider and we don’t need any more of them. I have changed my mind three times, since then. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. I started thinking “where does all the money come from for President Obama”? I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.

I started looking into Obama’s history for my own peace of mind. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. “Barry” (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a “round the world” trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family, then off to Africa to visit his father’s family.My question – Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack – not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia?

It’s not cheap to say the least.My girls asked me; where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe it’s none of my business?After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York. By “chance” he met Antoin “Tony” Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery several times in the past and in 2011. Rezko, was named

“Entrepreneur of the Decade” by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association”. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School?

Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? His family has no money that’s for sure.

After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what I discovered? They represented “Rezar” which is Rezko’s firm.

Rezko was one of Obama’s first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with “seed money” for his U.S. Senate race.

In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans – Where did he get the money for this property? On the same day Rezko’s wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama’s new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama’s boss. She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Am I going nuts or is there a pattern here?

On May 10, 2008, The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was “sacked” after the press found out he was having regular contacts with “Hamas”, which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will “Take care of things”. What the heck does that mean?

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those “small” Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?

And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2009, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, “My Muslim faith”. When questioned, “he made a mistake”. Some mistake huh?

All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it – Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times – Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times – September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question – If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven’t all of our “intelligent” members of the press been reporting this? Is this a Kettle of Fish?? As Arsenio Hall would say.—-”HUMMMMMMM! Does something stink or is it my imagination?” These are legitimate questions for our president.
